    Now down to a separation of only FORTY THREE votes (Coleman in the lead by a whisker), the Franken folk are saying this looks very good for them.

    If Franken wins, I wonder if we'll see a Democrat storm on Georgia like never seen before for that magic number 60..or will they simply not worry about it too much.

    I'm surprised Obama hasn't at least fired up his grassroots machine for this effort. I've received a few emails from his peeps, but nothing on this topic.

    December 2nd draws near...

    "ahead by a whisker" still stands though. 200 votes or so separating them.

    I mean, he IS the soon-to-be-president, is he not? Can't he pretty much do whatever he wants?

    He should have the guts to say "unwilling". ;)
